Wing Inventory Day

Long weekend so we are hoping to get a lot done. Today we were able to inventory the entire wing kit and try to find a location for everything. There were tons of rivets, tons of ribs and a lot of Misc hardware. Did I say how pretty those spars are ?

Also started the wing jig and am going to build both at once so decided to use two separate supports so I can walk between the wings. Tomorrow I will build out quite a bit more on the jig and leverage the supports to hold some items up high getting them out of my way.

I used some of the crating material to make a shelf in the garage that will only hold light weight items, but perfect for the wing tips.. Also, some of the aileron/flap skins..
